The journalist, Rohini Swamy and her cameraman Madhu were punched in the stomach by protesters while they were covering the Cauvery violence in Bengaluru. A woman television journalist and her cameraman were assaulted during violence that broke out in various parts of the city after the Supreme Court's modified order directing Karnataka to release reduced quantum of 12,000 cusecs of Cauvery river water to Tamil Nadu. "My colleague, Rohini Swamy, and myself - we both were roughed up and beaten by those protesting against Supreme Court direction to release Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu," India Today Cameraman Y Madhu said. Rohini and Madhu, who were covering Cauvery violence in the city, were attacked by protesters after they objected to the media coverage given to violence and protests staged by pro-Kannada outfits, Madhu said. The condition of Rohini, however, was fine after she was given treatment at a private hospital, Madhu said
